Which pellet would you like to review, research or burn?
If your a BBQ grilling pellet fan, or restauraunt using pellets for smoking and cooking then check out your online location to purchase BBQ grilling pellets by the ton or 1/2 tons.
In the home grilling world, there have been three choices: charcoal briquettes, lump (or natural) charcoal, and propane. Each has its advantages and each has its drawbacks: briquettes burn best, but often contain chemical binders. Lump charcoal has no additives but it burns quickly, requiring a lot of tending, not to mention charcoal. Gas provides an even, controllable heat, but doesn’t flavor the meat well and many BBQers claim they can taste the gas in the food. Whichever of the three you use, you will need to add flavor chips—soaked chips of flavorful wood that add the hickory or mesquite taste to the food.
They say you can tell a serious barbeque joint by the wood stacked up outside. If they are using gas, BBQ enthusiasts recommend passing them by.
Barbequing with wood pellets provides the convenience of gas, the steady heat of briquettes, and the flavor of real wood smoke in a convenient and easy to use form. The food grade wood pellets are made with sawdust that is pressed into pellets without chemical binders or additives. They burn steadily and, because they are made of wood, provide the flavored smoke that BBQers want. The grills are easily temperature controlled letting you cook “hot” for standard grilling or “cold” for longer cooked foods or for smoking.
Hickory, mesquite, oak, and cherry pellets are available. This lets you choose the flavors you want—hickory for ribs, chicken or steak, mesquite for a Southwestern flavor, oak for a good strong smoke taste or cherry, for a more subtle smoke.
Another outstanding burn from the brand of wood pellets which I purchased the very first year I owned my stove
This year the bag that I received in the mail burned better than I remember them doing last year. The heat output was exceptional, ash level was...
Great Pellet, really good heat, long burn time and hardly 0 fines. Or as I like to put it 0.0 like the GPA of Mr. Blutarsky aka John Belushi in Animal House!
Awesome! Although these pellets are not inexpensive, I'm sure that for every ton of the Vermont Wood Pellets that you burn, your going to be burning about a 1 1/2 tons of any other brand. SO DO THE MATH"Best of the Best" Delivered - NH, ME & MA

Clinkers and High Ash Build Up
Written by AdministratorBe the first to comment!I clean the stove every day in order to keep the burn pot very clean so that there are no obstructions preventing air to the burn pot through the small holes. Can someone tell me if it is just the quality of pellet that is causing this large amount of ash and clinker? It seems that I should be able to run the stove for a couple of days without cleaning clinkers out of the burn pot.
Administrator- Yes that sounds like a pellet issue. A "clinker" is unburned material / minerals which have not been eliminated during the drying process. Can you increase your air flow intake? That might help a bit. You may also want to try another pellet like a Turman, Cubex or Somersett, Bayou. Pellets made by a hardwood flooring company or mill work company usually use kiln dried wood which is depleted of minerals due to the slower drying process.
